THE CADILLAC AREA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

CACF's offices are located
in
Cadillac's Old City Hall Building

You may be familiar with the Cadillac Area Community
Foundation, but you may not know all that it does. The philanthropic impact
of the Community Foundation is evident throughout Cadillac's neighborhoods,
health and social service agencies, cultural organizations, educational institutions,
youth organization, economic development projects, and other community groups.
Working through local nonprofit organizations, the Cadillac Area Community
Foundation has been making our community a better place to live since 1988.

No one person has the resources
to provide solutions to all the challenges faced by a community this diverse.
However, by combining the financial and human resources of many individuals,
we can make a significant difference. Working together by pooling resources
is the basic idea of a Community Foundation.

Founded in 1988, the Cadillac Area
Community Foundation is Cadillac's permanent philanthropic endowment. A nonprofit,
tax-exempt, public charity, the Community Foundation receives gifts from individuals,
families, businesses, foundations and other organizations eager to make a
difference in the future of our local community. These funds comprise the
Community Foundation's assets, most of which are part of the Community Foundation's
permanent endowment (pools of funds invested for the future of the community)
and are used to support local, nonprofit organizations through grants and
technical assistance.

Cadillac Area Community Foundation
is proud to be a sponsor of
the Clam River Greenway.

The Cadillac Area Community Foundation's
purpose is to promote philanthropy and provide stewardship and leadership
to enhance the use of community resources to meet the needs of our citizens.
The Cadillac Area Community Foundation accomplishes this purpose by:

Encouraging philanthropy and charitable giving.

Providing grant making expertise and philanthropic services to donors,
with diverse interests, at all levels of giving.

Protecting and managing the assets of philanthropic funds established
by donors.

Supporting local nonprofit organizations through grants and technical

Serving as a resources and catalyst for philanthropic activities and bringing
together different forces in the community to develop new ways to use the

Developing permanent endowments and resources for today's and tomorrow's
generations to meet the challenges of the times.
